Dietary Intake

The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) is a system of nutrition recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies (United States). The DRI provides several different types of reference value. general term for a set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%-98%) healthy people.

The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a comprehensive set of nutrient reference values for healthy populations that can be used for assessing and planning diets. DRIs have been published since 1997 and replace previously published Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs). They are established by Canadian and American scientists through a review process overseen by the U.S. National Academies, which is an independent, nongovernmental body. The DRIs reflect the current state of scientific knowledge with respect to nutrient requirements and are published as a series of reports by the U.S. National Academies.

Malnutrition

When body unable to get the proper dietand healthy food stuff that condition of body is termed as Malnutrition. A malnourished person finds that their body has difficulty doing normal things such as growing and resisting disease. Physical work becomes problematic and even learning abilities can be diminished. For women, pregnancy becomes risky and they cannot be sure of producing nourishing breast milk.

In some cases, malnutrition is very mild and causes no symptoms. However, sometimes it can be so severe that the damage done to the body is permanent, even though you survive. Malnutrition continues to be a significant problem all over the world, especially among children. Poverty, natural disasters, political problems, and war all contribute to conditions - even epidemics - of malnutrition and starvation, and not just in developing countries.

Nutrient Deficiencies

A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body doesn’t absorb the necessary amount of a nutrient. Deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems, such as problems of digestion, skin problems, stunted or defective bone growth, and even dementia. Nutrient deficiencies can be sneaky, too. Unless you are seriously deficient for some time, you may notice no symptoms at all, leading you to believe (falsely) that your body is getting all the nutrition you need. More often, however, such deficiencies do cause symptoms, which can range from minor to severe. Unless you know what to look for, however, you’re likely to mistake the signs for something else.

Nutrient deficiencies can also lead to other diseases. “For example, calcium and vitamin D deficiencies can cause osteopenia or osteoporosis, two conditions marked by brittle bones,” says Kate Patton, MEd, RD, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. “And inadequate iron can cause anemia, which zaps your energy. Nutrient deficiencies alter bodily functions and processes at the most basic cellular level,” says Tricia L. Psota, PhD, RDN, president-elect of the DC Metro Area Dietetic Association. “These processes include water balance, enzyme function, nerve signaling, digestion, and metabolism. Resolving these deficiencies is important for optimal growth, development, and function”.

Nutrition Cancer

Nutrition is a process in which food is taken in and used by the body for growth, to keep the body healthy, and to replace tissue. Good nutrition is important for good health. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during, and after cancer treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger. A healthy diet includes eating and drinking enough of the foods and liquids that have the important nutrients (vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water) the body needs.

The effect of diet and nutrition on cancer prevention and recurrence (the return of cancer after treatment) is one of the most studied topics in medicine. Although the role of diet in heart disease or diabetes is fairly clear, it is not as clear for cancer. Researchers continue to learn how various nutrients affect cancer growth and development.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are characterised by an abnormal attitude towards food that causes someone to change their eating habits and behaviour. A person with an eatingdisorder may focus excessively on their weight and shape, leading them to make unhealthy choices about food with damaging results to their health. Eating disorders are serious conditions related to persistent eating behaviors that negatively impact your health, your emotions and your ability to function in important areas of life. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder.

Most eating disorders involve focusing too much on your weight, body shape and food, leading to dangerous eating behaviors. These behaviors can significantly impact your body's ability to get adequate nutrition. Eating disorders can harm the heart, digestive system, bones, and teeth and mouth, and lead to other diseases.

Food Intolerance

Food intolerance, also known as non-IgE mediated food hypersensitivity or non-allergic food hypersensitivity, refers to difficulty in digesting certain foods. It is important to note that food intolerance is different from food allergy.

Food intolerance is much more common than food allergy. The onset of symptoms is usually slower and may be delayed by many hours after eating the offending food. The symptoms may also last for several hours, even into the next day and sometimes longer. Intolerance to several foods or a group of foods is not uncommon, and it can be much more difficult to decide whether food intolerance is the cause of chronic illness, and which foods or substances may be responsible.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency

When body does not have enough Vitamin B12 then deficiency will occurs in the body. Vitamin B12 helps in building red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. If not having enough B12 can lead to anemia, which means the body does not have enough red blood cells to do the job. Anaemia deficiency occurs when a lack of vitamin B12 or folate causes the body to produce abnormally large red blood cells that cannot function properly.

Vitamin B12 supplements are usually given by injection at first. Then, depending on whether your B12 deficiency is related to your diet, you will either require B12 tablets between meals or regular injections. These treatments may be needed for the rest of your life. Folic acid tablets are used to restore folate levels. These usually need to be taken for four months.

Iodine Deficiency Disorders

Lacking of iodine in the diet leads to the iodine deficiency. This will leads to the production of hyperthyroidism and makes the thyroid gland enlarge which turns into Goiter. There has been substantial progress in reducing the frequency of iodine deficiency. In 2007, data were available from 130 countries covering 92.4 percent of the world's 6 to 12 year population. Approximately 31.5 percent (264 million) of school-aged children (corresponding to an estimated general population of about 2 billion individuals) were iodine deficient (defined by a daily iodine intake <100 mcg). This represented a 5 percent decrease in prevalence in school-aged children since 2003. The largest decreases occurred in South East Asia and in the Western Pacific. Between 2003 and 2013, the total number of countries with adequate iodine intake increased from 67 to 111.

Iodine content in foods is also influenced by iodine-containing compounds used in irrigation, fertilizers, and livestock feed. Iodophors, used for cleaning milking equipment, milk cans and teats in the dairy industry, can increase the native iodine content of dairy products through contamination of iodine containing residues

Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression.

Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her height. Children grow at different rates, so it isn't always easy to know when a child is obese or overweight. Ask your health care provider to check whether your child's weight and height are in a healthy range.

Public Health Nutrition

It is a science which helps in promoting the health status of the country by changing the food nutrition system. It focuses on the issue of dietary needs of population. Public health nutrition is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the medium of nutrition. The aim for those working as public health nutritionists is for everyone to achieve greater health and well-being by making healthier food and nutrition-related choices.

According to World Health Organisation, Public health refers to all organized measures (whether public or private) to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life among the population as a whole. Its activities aim to provide conditions in which people can be healthy and focus on entire populations, not on individual patients or diseases. Thus, public health is concerned with the total system and not only the eradication of a particular disease.

Obesity Prevention

Obesityat any age can be prevented by doing regularly exercise and healthy meal. A disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems. A disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems. Obesity prevalence was estimated by state and income-to-poverty ratio using information from the Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS). PedNSS contained measured heights and weights, as well as other information from low-income children aged 2–4 years. The source of the PedNSS data was from federally funded maternal and child health and nutrition programs, with data primarily collected through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

Obesity is a chronic disease affecting more and more children, adolescents and adults:
1. Obesity rates among children in the U.S. have doubled since 1980 and have tripled for adolescents
2. 15% percent of children aged six to 19 are considered overweight
3. Over 60 percent of adults are considered overweight or obese

Fatigue Disorders

Fatigue (either physical, mental or both) is a symptom that may be difficult for the patient to describe and words like lethargic, exhausted and tired may be used. Fatigue can be described as the lack of energy and motivation (both physical and mental). This is different than drowsiness, a term that describes the need to sleep. Often a person complains of feeling tired and it is up to the health care professional to distinguish between fatigue and drowsiness, though both can occur at the same time. Aside from drowsiness, other symptoms can be confused with fatigue includingshortness of breath with activity and muscle weakness. Again, all these symptoms can occur at the same time. Also, fatigue can be a normal response to physical and mental activity; in most normal individuals it is quickly relieved (usually in hours to about a day, depending on the intensity of the activity) by reducing the activity.

The cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is unknown, although there are many theories — ranging from viral infections to psychological stress. Some experts believe chronic fatigue syndrome might be triggered by a combination of factors. There's no single test to confirm a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome. You may need a variety of medical tests to rule out other health problems that have similar symptoms. Treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome focuses on symptom relief.

Nutritional Epidemiology

Nutritional epidemiology is the study of human health in relation to nutrition. What started as a small subdiscipline of epidemiology some decades ago has grown into a branch with major public health importance. Now that nutritional deficiencies have been dramatically reduced in most developed countries, the purpose of nutritional recommendations has been the prevention of diseases.

Nutritional epidemiology is one of the younger disciplines in epidemiology. This may be partially due to the difficulties in measuring diet as an exposure. Diet and physical activity are arguably the most difficult exposures to assess in observational research and are plagued by considerable measurement error. We all eat, we all eat many different foods, we tend to forget rather quickly what we ate, and we often do not know the ingredients of the dishes we consume. Hence we are all exposed, and the variation may be more subtle than with other, more distinct exposures such as smoking or use of hormone replacement therapy. Few people maintain extreme diets; thus assessing diet within fairly homogeneous populations makes it difficult to detect associations between dietary patterns (or particular foods and nutrients) and health or disease due to the lack of sufficient variation.
